You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.
First item / additional item

The local disposal guide
Bulk junk removal in Albany: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Albany publishes no curbside bulky item collection. A large load goes to the Dougherty County landfill, which takes most non-hazardous material, or into a roll-off container rented from the city Solid Waste Division.
Furniture does not fit Albany's cart rules and the city publishes no bulky pickup, so a couch goes to the Dougherty County landfill, which accepts most non-hazardous material, or into a rented city roll-off container.
No Albany or Dougherty County page names mattresses, so a mattress follows the same route as other household material, the county landfill, where the charge is set at the gate.
The county landfill accepts most non-hazardous material and does not list appliances among its refusals, while the city publishes no appliance pickup, so the route is the landfill with a confirmation on the price.
Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful accepts all types of electronics at its office on weekdays and at a one-day September event, and the county recycling drop-offs take rechargeable batteries.
Large renovation loads move in a city roll-off container, whose set-out, pull, tipping and rental charges are published, or in a covered load at the county landfill.
Exercise equipment is named on no Albany or Dougherty County list, so the machine follows the non-hazardous landfill route and the price is confirmed at the gate or through a container rental.
The handoff matters
Albany collects only what is inside the city-issued cart, so boxes are broken down and everything else waits for another route. Carts go to the curb or the alley no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, face the roadway within three feet of the curb and away from poles and mail boxes, and come back in by 7 p.m. that day. Leaves and yard debris are collected twice a month in a separate pile near the garbage collection point, and nothing else may be mixed into it.
City solid waste collection rules and contactsCity solid waste questions, residential rate and yard debris ruleAll loads reaching the Dougherty County landfill must be fully covered or secured, and commercial loads must be tarped entering and leaving. The gate is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., closes fifteen minutes early so the site can shut down safely, and closes for an hour one day a month for a safety meeting. Herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries and tires with rims are refused, hazardous and biomedical waste is refused, restricted non-hazardous waste needs written approval, and children must stay in vehicles with no scavenging.
Dougherty County landfill hours, acceptance and refusalsLiquid paint does not go into a landfill load. The county advises buying only what is needed, using or donating leftovers, and either drying latex paint out so the solid residue can go in the roll-out cart, or recycling a steel can that is empty, dry and free of paint residue at Albany Recycling Services, 1301 East Gordon Avenue. Batteries are refused at the landfill, so household and rechargeable batteries go to the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful recycling drop-offs instead.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Albany.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Two routes. The city rents roll-off containers through the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800, with a one time set-out fee, a pull fee, a per ton tipping fee and a daily rental rate on the published schedule, and the Dougherty County landfill takes most non-hazardous material at its gate Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Every load has to be covered or secured, and hazardous material is refused.Official guidance
To the Dougherty County landfill, which accepts most non-hazardous material and is open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and closed most public holidays. All loads have to be covered or secured. For a whole cleanout, the city rents roll-off containers through the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800, with the set-out, pull, tipping and daily rental charges on its published fee schedule.Official guidance
To the Dougherty County landfill, since neither the city nor the county publishes a mattress drop-off or a mattress rate. The landfill accepts most non-hazardous material, requires every load to be covered or secured, and sets the price at the gate, so call the scale house at 229-302-3226 before the trip. A mattress will not be collected in the city cart.Official guidance
The landfill accepts most non-hazardous material and lists herbicides, pesticides, gasoline, oils, batteries and tires with rims as its refusals, so an appliance is welcome there and the price is set at the gate. Call the scale house at 229-302-3226 to confirm the load price and to ask how a unit with refrigerant is handled. The city does not collect appliances in its cart.Official guidance
Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful accepts all types of electronics at its office Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and at a one-day event held in September, so a television or computer goes there rather than into the city cart. The county recycling drop-offs also take nickel cadmium and rechargeable batteries, at the West Albany site at 2521 Meredyth Drive and the Downtown site behind the James H. Gray, Sr. Civic Center.Official guidance
Call the city Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800 and set up an agreement. The published schedule charges a one time set-out fee, a pull fee, a tipping fee per ton and a daily rental rate. Construction loads going to the county landfill instead must be covered or secured, and commercial loads must be tarped entering and leaving the site.Official guidance
No city curbside programme for it is published, and the cart rules only take household garbage, so a treadmill goes to the Dougherty County landfill, which accepts most non-hazardous material and requires covered loads, or into a roll-off container rented from the city. Confirm the price first at the county scale house, 229-302-3226, or with the city at (229) 302-1800.Official guidance
The City of Albany does it through the Solid Waste Division at 1900 N. Monroe St., reachable at (229) 302-1800. Household garbage is collected in city-issued carts and yard debris twice a month, additional containers are arranged for a fee, and the city also rents roll-off containers for larger loads. The county runs the landfill and the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful recycling drop-offs, which is where recyclables and electronics go.Official guidance
Batteries never go to the landfill, which refuses them along with herbicides, pesticides, gasoline and oils, so household and rechargeable batteries go to the Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful drop-offs at 2521 Meredyth Drive or behind the James H. Gray, Sr. Civic Center. Paint is a household problem rather than a site: buy only what you need, use or donate the rest, dry latex paint out so the solid residue can go in the roll-out cart, and recycle an empty dry steel can at Albany Recycling Services, 1301 East Gordon Avenue.Official guidance
Residential household garbage collection is billed monthly under a schedule the city adjusts each July, and additional containers are arranged with the Solid Waste Division at (229) 302-1800. Roll-off containers carry a one time set-out charge, a pull charge, a per ton tipping charge and a daily rental charge on the published fee schedule, and the same schedule prices passenger, truck and farm tractor tires separately.Official guidance
